On 240's, the fuel pump relay is indeed a major contributor to no-starts. It's located on the passenger side at the upper portion of the footwell. Peel back the carpet and you'll see it there - it's white. You can replace it cheaply enough (maybe $15-20 at fcpgroton.com), but the typical problem is that with age the internal solder joints crack. If you're handy with a soldering iron, simply re-solder them and that should cure the relay problem.

Are both fuel pump fuses clean and making firm contact?

On mid-80's models at least thru '88 there is also a 25-amp blade-style fuse under the hood on the driver's side, between the battery and the coil, on the inner fender. Not sure if it was still there in '90 (my '91 does not have it); it may have gone away when the EZK system with the diagnostics came along. This fuse tends to corrode and can also be a source of no-start problems.
